This has been a brealthough post for me, thanks Sergie. DDS file format as good as it is, is a bit of a hidden art for me. I have been working on my first boat skin for a while now, a high res skin for the classT Triton by keltos. In my NNS Triton folder are 6 seperate skins, 2 of which seem to be negatives of some kind then 4 main images as follows.

NSS_Triton_T01...NSS_Triton_T01_Ir...NSS_Triton_T0 2...NSS_Triton_T02_Ir

I experimented with the Nvidia file save in Pshop and have been saving with 4Xcompression DXT3 and DXT5 and, not bad. My question is this, are the four highlight buttons in silent editor to highlight the 4 file types, see image, note the dive plains how they change the from grey to black when enable ambient occlusion is pressed, why, lol. I want grey dive planes not black.

thanks Sid
